YEREVAN. – Azerbaijani media, following bad example of their president and leadership, spread ridiculous rumors, Armenian expert Arkady Grigoryan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

He commented on the Azerbaijani press reports about allegedly “destroyed Armenian military outposts”. According to ANS PRESS, on Friday evening “the Armenian side opened fire on the village” and in response Azerbaijani army opened retaliatory fire. “As a result Armenian outposts were destroyed and a fire broke out in the neutral zone,” the media reported, adding that “there were no casualties”.

“It is clear that when the president is distorting facts, defense minister is boasting of ability 'to destroy any facility in the territory of Armenia', the media would follow their lead and dream up,” the expert said.

The mentioned facts provoke several questions: “If the outposts were destroyed, why there are no casualties? The most important thing: they were destroyed by what? Small arms will not work. Is Azerbaijani media aware that 'to destroy outposts'  means to break through the defense and as a consequence to start full-scale action?” Grigoryan wonders.
